SAM HANCOCK

Who are you and roughly where on planet earth do you live?

Meet Peyton How did you get involved in the album?

Well when bethel music was planning the kids album, they saw a video of me singing for a talent show, and they asked me to go to the studio to sing, and I also auditioned for the dance section of the album as well.

Do you play any instruments?

My name is Sam, I am 11 years old and I live in Manchester, UK, (The Earth).

You’ve recently won a pretty awesome national competition.

Can you tell us about it?

My teacher told me about it because I had once written a song for my English homework! I wrote a song for the Song Academy Young Songwriter Of The Year 2016 competition and won the 7-12yrs category. I was so surprised but it’s been a really cool experience. I got to record my song with a top London producer, have performed the song with a band and have won some musical instruments.

How do you go about starting to write a song?

I play the piano and I play a little guitar

You guys made some awesome music videos for the Bethel Kids album?

Tell us about them? The videos were so so so much fun to film, every

shoot was new and exciting. The first video we filmed was You Make Me Brave and we actually filmed the music video in the redwoods, so the whole experience of driving up there and dancing in the woods was super exciting and fun. I was a little nervous at first but once we started filming it was really great.

Do you have a favorite song about God?

One of my favorite worship songs is “Be Enthroned” By Jeremy Riddle, because the song is super powerful and everytime i listen to it I am really impacted by it, because it shows just how worthy He is, how good a God He is.

What’s your favorite Bible verse and why?

One of my favorite verses is Ephesians 1:17 because its a prayer saying I keep asking that God will give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation so we can know him better, and it’s a very important declaration to me because in any situation i can pray that God would help me have wisdom so that i can be closer to him.

Tell us why you think it’s so awesome being friends with Jesus?

It is so awesome because when you decide to trust Jesus and live your life with Him, you begin to experience new things and see things in a new way and you get to know even more how amazing God is, and how much he loves each and every one of you.

What 3 things would you take on a rocket to moon?

I would definitely bring something to play my music with so most likely my phone and headphones, and the third thing would have to be a camera so i could take pictures while i was there.

Sometimes I start with the lyrics but with this one it kind of just popped out of my head! I started playing my guitar and singing a tune, found a melody I liked singing and then came up with the words.

And you play like loads of instruments Sam. What are they and did you teach yourself?

I had a guitar teacher, but that was only notes and not chords. My dad helped me recognise some chords as he plays the guitar (not very well!). Then one of the worship leaders in our church, Pete, also taught me for a while and he was amazing. I also play the drums, bass guitar, and the ukulele.

Sam, you are also a christian and love Jesus. Whats one of the best things about being friends with Jesus?

I like being a Christian because of the fact that no-one is perfect and we all sin, but Jesus takes that pain away so we can be made right with him. I always know that Jesus is with me and that’s cool.

Have you got a favourite Bible verse and why?

It is Proverbs 3 v 5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” I like this verse because it is good to remember every day even if I’m worried about something.

Have you got any new songs bubbling away?

Yes. I’m always singing away to myself and sometimes I’ll go up into my bedroom and write some lyrics down or record a tune. I’d love to do an album someday!

What advice would you give other kids wanting to be creative and write new songs?

I’d say just be yourself because if you’re not you when you’re writing, you’re not really writing the best you can. If you can play an instrument that’s great, but it’s not vital. Just try to start somewhere with a tune or lyrics and try to build it up, bit by bit.

How can the world check out your awesome winning song?

When I recorded it with a music producer in London they made a video, so you can see it and listen to it at www.allstarskidsclub.com

ASHA

DEVOTIONS BY

Do you ever meet people who seem to have it all together? They always seem to say the right things, do the right things, wear the right labels, and tell the funniest jokes. I’m not one of those people.

In fact, I went through a phase in my teenage years where I was extremely clumsy.

I would knock things over. I would spill food on myself at mealtimes. I would fall flat on my face in public. Yet each time it happened (and it happened more than once), everyone around me burst out laughing.

Another time, I was on stage and walked off a riser and went falling backwards. My legs flew up in the air. My guitar came crashing down. It was awkward!

I had just fallen off the stage in front of a couple thousand students. And in that moment, I could have easily been paralyzed with embarrassment, but I wasn’t. I had learned to laugh when accidents happen and not to be embarrassed.

out.

I’ve got an Awkward Barometer for you to fill name s’ Jesu when ol What happens to you at scho comes up? Be honest.

Wherever you are on the chart, the good news is that Jesus wasn’t ashamed to come to earth and die for you, trading His perfection for your sin. He totally accepted you. I’m not ashamed to say the name of Jesus.

Awkward Barometer

It’s not a secret. Not pretend. Jesus is YOUR best friend.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF! So why don’t you tell god how you feel. I know praying out loud can be a little awkward too, but here’s a prayer to help you. Say this prayer after me, and really mean these words from your heart: PRAY THIS! Dear Lord Jesus, thank You that You are not ashamed to be known as my friend. Thank You for dying in my place for my sin. Please forgive me for the times I’ve been too embarrassed to talk about You. I don’t want to be ashamed of You anymore. Help me to stand up for You. Amen.

In 2 Timothy 1, the Message version of the Bible translates “don’t be ashamed” as “don’t be embarrassed.” And all of us can understand embarrassment. What about you? You may not think you are ashamed of Jesus, but are you embarrassed by Him? There’s one way to answer that.

Then along came the mums, hoping Jesus would bless their babies.

“Stop!” said the disciples. “What do you think you’re doing? Jesus hasn’t got time for babies.

Sit over there so you won’t get in the way.”

It was a busy day for Jesus, talking to all the grown-ups.

Then along came the girls, running towards Jesus.

“Stop!” said the disciples. “What do you think you’re doing? Jesus hasn’t got time for girls.

Sit down and be quiet while he talks to the grown-ups.”

Then one of the boys rolled up to meet Jesus.

Then the mums brought their babies to Jesus.

And he hugged the babies and blessed them.

PART ONE

“It’s us or them,” thought Toby as he hit the ground.

A new bully is in town and he’s pushing Toby around.

Toby can’t stand up to him alone, but with Jesus’ help... Toby learns that God doesn’t need us to be bigger to win a battle. But God does need us to trust Him, even when what He’s asking us to do makes no earthly sense!

1 AMUEL v17 (in the Bib le)

! s e y e s ’ d o in G

Now David was a shepherd boy who lived in Israel. He was pretty small.

He took care of lots of sheep. God chose David to take care of the Jewish people.

David was also really musical. They didn’t have electric guitars back then, but the closest thing was a harp, so David played one of those! He loved writing songs on his harp.

When the king of Israel was tired of fighting in a really big war, he asked David to play music for him. David’s music made him feel better.

One day a terrible giant named Goliath started bragging to his soldier friends that none of the Jews would dare to fight him.

He was right. The Jewish soldiers were all afraid of big Goliath. He was HUGE! (and probably a bit smelly!)

What would happen to the Jewish people?

Then little David said: “I’ll fight Goliath. God will help me.” And he went and got some stones for his slingshot.

David tried on the King’s armour but it was way too big for him, so he took it off. The king was pretty worried.

David walked out onto the battle field to face Goliath all on his own.

The giant just laughed at him. David put a stone in his sling and flung it.

The stone hit big Goliath on the head. BOOM! Then David killed him with his sword.

All of Goliath’s friends ran away. The little shepherd boy had saved the Jewish people and showed that God can use a little person to do a big thing!

You might be young or small, but with God all things are possible.

Lunchbox Tips!

Always wash your lunch box out after school (so it doesn’t get really stinky!)

Cut an orange into quarters then freeze overnight. It makes an awesome snack the next day but also keeps your box nice and cool.

If you have some yummy sugary snacks, stick in a slice of cheese.

It helps to stop decay for the rest of the day.

Make sure you have some fruit.

On your mind...

Getting ready Tips!!

Get all your clothes and shoes ready the night before - less rush in the morning!

If it’s a new school - check out the website and ask your parents to take you to walk around the school.

Remember to PRAY - God listens and He really cares :)

a e k a m n a c YODUIFFERENCE! Have you ever thought you can’t make a difference because you are only a kid? Well we want you to think again!

There are loads of examples of God using Kids in the Bible!! David, Samuel and the boy with the loaves and fishes to name but a few!! Even the disciples were probably only teenagers!

How about this for a cool verse ‘Don’t let anyone put you down because you are young but be an example to the believers’ 1 TIM: 4:12 YEAH! Show the grown ups how to do it!!! Wahey!

God WANTS to use you to make a difference!!

Here’s some examples of modern day kids who do – check out their websites and Youtube links (ask permission first!)

Ideas for you to change the world

Zach Hunter Zach was really timid , in fact he had to have home schooling for a year because he was so afraid of going to school. One day when he was 12 he was taught about America’s history of Slavery – and the abolitionists who fought to stop it. Then he discovered that there were even more people in slavery today so he wanted to do something about it. He got his friends to start donating loose change – just pennies to help stop modern day slavery.

The idea caught on and spread across America.

Soon there were thousands of people giving ‘loose change to loosen chains.’ Zach loves Jesus and knows that this is what he wants him to do. He has now written books, travelled all over the world, spoken at conventions fighting for freedom of slaves. You can find links and more info at www.allstarskidsclub.com

Ryan Hreljac was 6 when he heard

that 6000 children – the same as

20 jumbo jets full – die everyday

in Africa because they do not have

clean water. He decided to start to

save to buy a well. When he was

10 he went to see the well.

The people of the village were

so grateful that they lined the

road to clap and wrote songs

about him. He has now started

a charity and has built over 266

saved the lives of 425000 people. have which wells

Buy some bottles of water from the supermarket for 50p and sell them for a £1 at church and send all the profit to a charity building wells.

Bake delicious cup cakes and add a little message of encouragement on a mini paper flag. On Sunday give them out to the older or sick people in your church or a new visitor. It will bless their socks off!

Offer to do the teas and coffees at church and tell the adults to have a day off. Get all the kids to bake millions of cakes and biscuits. Guaranteed to make the church go WOW! Buy a Chicken – a cow or a goat to help a family in Africa look after themselves Buy a toilet!!!! Yes seriously – clean water and toilets are essential to good health. You could do all sorts of activities to raise money like toilet paper Olympics or tossing rubber poo into a toilet seat game ... ermm maybe we’ll stop there but you get the idea!! Lots of great charities offer this.

Have a bath full of Baked Beans! Why not raise money for a mission or charity that you believe in by sitting in a tub or bath full of beans! Its totally gross but sooooo much fun!
